His muscles have atrophied to a great degree.  My mom and I are the only *family* that visit him with any regularity.  He tires easily and doesn't eat the food provided to him at the hospital.  He stares into space and responds with a soft whisper.

At least the infection in his lungs is no longer there.  Of course, it took about a month of an antibiotic drip to help his body get rid of it.

While helping my mom feed him some beef broth she made this morning, I suppressed the well of emotion that surfaced.
